@Harmonie No, it's not "inaccurate". Ask anybody who's played a Pokemon game. Their answer will very likely be that they started with Gen 1. And no, the franchise isn't just geared towards children. It's for people of all ages. You can still play Pokemon games and be in your 30s. It's not something to go "lol" about.

I know Generation VIII is the current generation. But we weren't talking about that. We were talking about Gen I.

@Harmonie But it IS the most iconic. Everybody knows who the likes of Pikachu, Charizard, Bulbasaur and Jigglypuff are. It's the generation that everybody grew up with. And no, I'm not underestimating that fact. And you literally said that Gen VIII got 19 Gigantamax forms while Gen I had 12. It's not about "overkill", and it's not about "terms of past generations".

@Harmonie The Gen 1 Pokemon are the most iconic period, not just to older fans. It's not about "pandering", or "leaning on" anything or "hammering in" that fact. Not all of the Gigantamax Pokemon are from Gen 1. And it's not about holding them on a pedestal either. Yes, Gen 1 may have gotten a bit more attention in recent years than people would've wanted, but that doesn't mean it's the only one that The Pokemon Company likes or wants to focus on.

@Yosher Admittedly, the single use TMs I'm not a huge fan of. All the rest really doesn't feel like that big of a deal. The art style looks fine for what they're going for, we don't know for sure if they're "playing it safe", because these remakes have ways of surprising us, and the whole "animations not perfect" thing has sort of run its course at this point.
